Knock it off, clones.

By Jim RomeESPN.com

How do people keep getting caught like this? We live in an internet age, the time of Star Wars kid and that fatty Numa Numa freaky deeky Dutchman. Seriously, people, stop lip-synching to popular music. Period. Anything, even in the supposed privacy of your own home, is playing with fire. The latest hapless victim? The Penn State kid.

However, being the cynic that I am, I have the some doubts about this video's sincerity. The whole doorknob-cam thing makes this about as convincing as those We Live Together roommates persuading "random" girls on the street into dirty three-ways, not that I would know about that or anything.

If I was a betting man, I would wager that faking the geekery of opposing fans becomes the new message board weapon of choice. Unfortunately, the Notre Dame MBA tailgate remains very real, very white, and very lame. Rack me.

UPDATE: YouTube has pulled the video for "copyright reasons". You can still watch it here, but the real/fake argument soldiers on.

Jim Rome is an ESPN blowhard. We didn't know people still used Grecian formula.
